Diplomas Well-earned Reaching our goals for a feeling of self-worth is an important aspect in life. One of those goals is a high school diploma. This piece of paper is a replica of 12 years of work. Sometimes these years were very frustrating, but we stuck to it so we could accomplish our long- set goal. At times, it seemed like all the academics were taking up all of our time. Homework kept piling up before our eyes. We suppose if we hadn't waited until the night before a four-week assignment was due, we wouldn't have felt so bogged down. We don't think we'll ever forget geometry and all the proofs and theorems; English (remember: Jul- ius Caesar, Canterbury Tales, Macbeth, Paradise Lost, and Ham- let); history and government; chemistry and the mole and the quantum theory; art class, trig., calculus, algebra, typing, account- ing, band, choir, or drama and stage fright. Classes aren't as much of a has- sle as we make them. We all had our times when we outmatched the teachers with excused absences and other pranks. These years were truly our years. No one can ever take away the memories. Our diploma will be one of our most highly prized possessions because we can truly say, We did it all by ourselves!
